    Was actually a great run! We just had to drive to the starting point. Had he waited about 10mins longer. Ha!

    Well we did get a little lost. But it was all great in the end.

    I'm going to program a few runs into the gps.

    I agree! Last year I got lost on a paved "road" by one of the lakes that narrowed to the point where the tires of the Jeep where hanging in the dirt on both sides! When it became so overgrown that I was pin-striping the sides and about to bust my lights off on the low hangers, I figured it was time to make an 80 point turn and head back before it turned into a "Hills have eyes" situation. :)

    I've had 2 really "lost" experiences...both near Cherohalla...one on an unplanned detour thru the Cherokee Indian Reservation and the other thru the Joyce Kilmer National Forest. That second jaunt ended with my friend in his Classic puncturing his radiator on the rocky road and us limping back to Fontana, stopping at every overlook and trash can area searching for partially full discarded water bottles. He knew of a guy in Knoxville who could fix it temporarily...well, enough to get back to Ohio, but it took awhile.

    I think there were tear stains on the email. Sometimes life just throws a curve ball.

    Looking at the current forecast Saturday looks to be rainy for the entire 71-75 Corridor. If this forecast holds up, I'll leave on Sunday instead.

    If I recall the curve at the top of that hill before the bridge is a little off camber.

    My earth day message, don't run into trees it's bad for them & does your car no good either.

    Glad he walked away.

    I appreciate the post. It is good to get grounded before heading down there and be reminded that the Dragon can easily reach out and bite you.
